the route you would choose. For safety reasons,
the system generally applies the following rules
to your route:•Shortcuts through residential areas are
avoided.•Right turns are favoured over left turns or U-
turns.•Time-restricted turns (turns prohibited at
certain times of the day) are not used.
Check the ferry schedule when the calculated
route includes ferry route.
